Hello pros and sifus,
As the topic above, I would like to swap my E30 for a 3SGE or F20C. As you can see, both engine manage to tick all the requirement needed by the E30. I had seen a lot of project has been done by those who lived in the Australia as well as the native of the USA. I'm so horny to make a project of it. But I've discovered some problem:
1. My budget is only capable from RM10k-RM15K. Planning it to be a NA as far as possible. Any comments for turbo's swap such as SR20DET is acceptable but will it be reliable?
2. As far as reliable is a concern, I would like to make this car as a daily drive. So reliability is a big issue for me. (first time project). Will it pass JPJ and Puspakom endorsement? I wouldn't mind if I have to take a back door.
3. All projects conducted are only ang moh alone. I don't see any Malaysian did this. Ang Moh very clever too, make things on their own like they just pass engineering degree. Me? I want to throw it into a shop as I've had no knowledge in my hand. PLEASE ADVICE!!
P/S: My first time as an OP, please bear with me of all these long essays, for BMW purists, i'm sorry.(my family own a e46, suffered EML, Engine failure, Transmission failure, no more bmw parts for me). THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
